You’re not in love. You’re emotionally enmeshed

I was the jealous one in the friendship…

In the last episode , we started our Friendships series by looking at questions to ask before rushing into new friendships. Today, we’re getting real about a sensitive topic — jealousy in friendships. I share two personal stories from my teenage and university years where I struggled with jealousy towards my friends, how it affected me, and the lessons I learned. We’ll unpack why jealousy happens (low self-esteem, scarcity mindset, weak identity) and how to overcome it so your friendships can thrive without silent competition. This is a safe space — no judgment, just honesty and growth.

Struggles of a Gen-Z Christian

Have you ever looked at yourself and not recognized who you’ve become? In this episode, I share the most vulnerable part of my current season — grieving the loss of a relationship I thought was forever, navigating physical illness, and wrestling with what obedience to God really costs. If you’re also in a season where you’re letting go, breaking down, or barely holding on… I want you to know you’re not alone. Life might not make sense right now, but even in this, God is still writing your story. Let this episode be your reminder: Obedience may hurt, but it never wastes.

You’re not in love. You’re emotionally enmeshed

I used to carry emotional weight that wasn’t mine — constantly internalizing people’s moods, thinking it was love and also my job to fix them. In this episode, I share how this pattern started, what it did to me, and the small but powerful steps I’m learning to take to emotionally detach and protect my peace. If you’ve ever felt responsible for someone else’s feelings, this one’s for you.

Listen to this before you give up

If you’re in a season where it feels like nothing is working, like you’re wasting time or resources, this is your reminder: you’re not. You’re planting. Stay with it. Before a tree grows upward, it first grows downward. Just like in life: the most important growth is often invisible. Be patient with yourself and the work you’re currently doing🫂❤️✨ Scriptures as promised: Matthew 13:5-6, Isaiah 37:31, Isaiah 27:6 Watch the video on STARTING here: https://youtu.be/A5OOKez-j10
